RE: A very technical curiosity - how to assess the quality of a spdif stream ?


Hi and sorry to have been not clear
I am sure that great and expensive transports like your Esoteric are really great because, as you say, all the issues have been carefully studied and faced in the design, careful parts selection and so on.
But i am not completely sure that, for instace, a cheap but very good way to play a cd does not exist.
I am not an expert but as someone i think did, to use a cheap cd rom to fill a 1 GB buffer and then read with good clock from that buffer should not be that difficult and expensive.
And that stream could be very high quality spdif signal for an external dac. There can be different ways to achieve a similar result i mean.
I would be willing to wait for that buffer to be filled.
I am waiting for a br player said to be a very nice transport.
I am curious to hear ... very.
Kind regards,
bg
